In South Korea, fried chicken is the latest sign of inflation woes

Clark Park, a 35-year-old YouTuber, is one of many people in South Korea fed up with high food prices. That’s why he grabbed his camera and joined a huge throng of shoppers clamoring for cheap fried chicken one August morning at Homeplus, a hypermarket chain that had just slashed 12% off its already-heavily discounted prices. “There were already over 50 people lined up,” Park told CNN Business, adding that many arrived early and waited well over an hour.

Leading chicken chains have raised menu prices by an average of 2,000 Korean won , according to Yunjin Park, a senior research analyst of food and nutrition at Euromonitor, citing the “rising prices of ingredients.” This led to a roughly 10% to 15% jump in the price of fried chicken, she added.

You know that inflation is global, and South Korea has not been able to escape from this problem.

The fascist imperialist who enslave the world with their fiat currency are laughing all the way to the bank, getting rich satisfying their sadistic psychotic fantasies.

歡迎個人生活絲毫不受通貨膨脹太多影響的全球政治人物,繼續為爭奪各自資源的相關私人利益,再炒作各自仇恨,鼓吹無限期延長烏克蘭和俄羅斯的無意義戰爭,導致全球通膨永遠無法回到以前.而這一切後果受害影響最深的永遠是全球大多數的社會中下階級人民的生存權益.

So Biden caused inflation in South Korea too? That’s crazy! It’s almost like the world is struggling it’s way out of something that afflicted every country.

The equivalent to rotisserie chicken in the USA.
